= The main ghost story about Biltmore Estate concerns George and Edith Vanderbilt, who loved their home so much that they haven’t left, even in death. In 1914 George Vanderbilt died from complications of an appendectomy, and Edith was devastated. He died screaming and in pain.She was known to sit by the marble fireplace in the library, holding full conversations with George after his death. People still report hearing her voice there from time to time. The ghostly image of George himself has been seen in the Billiard Room and the second floor Oak Sitting Room usually reading and smoking his pipe. While those events may be strange to the untrained eye, they are not really frightening. That isn’t the case with the Pool Room. At times you can hear the sounds of splashing and swimming, even though no one is present. This is sometimes accompanied by maniacal laughter from an unseen source in the drain at the bottom of the pool. If you stray from the tour as you are going through the house a upset lady will sometimes appear out of no where and ask you what you are doing in her house. Many people later realize it is Mrs Vanderbilt whose portrait is in a bedroom open to the tour. Some people hear a mans screams come from above their heads. Wet footprints are often found in the indoor pool area even though there has not been water in the pool in many years. What the servants told next really shook some people up. They claimed they could hear George talking back to his wife. Edith passed away in 1958. It is said that's when a lot of the strange events began to happen. Employees began to hear laughing, talking, footsteps, and would see George Vanderbilt in the library, as well as Edith.
